Disputes arising out of commercial contracts, partnership disagreements, shareholder conflicts, and construction or real estate transactions often require resolution mechanisms that are faster and more confidential than conventional litigation. Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), encompassing arbitration, mediation, and conciliation, is governed primarily by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (as amended in 2015, 2019, and 2021), along with the Mediation Act, 2023. These frameworks allow parties to resolve disputes through neutral third-party intervention while retaining greater control over procedure, timelines, and outcomes.
Mukherjee Law Chambers approaches ADR matters with a focus on early case assessment and strategic dispute planning. The firm evaluates the most suitable mechanism for each dispute, whether institutional or ad hoc arbitration, mediation, or conciliation, and structures its approach around the client’s commercial objectives rather than pursuing resolution for its own sake. Emphasis is placed on drafting enforceable arbitration clauses at the contract stage to prevent future jurisdictional disputes.
